    Hugs for the stupid BFN TL :( We should market HPTs with happy messages when it's a -ve, like 'Not this time sweetheart, but don't give up!' and 'Maybe it's a shy bean? It's not over till the witch arrives!' :o

    Hugs for CD1 Jammy :( Hope the CBFM arrives soon. :)

    Hugs for McRach as well, sounds like your OH was being a bit thoughtless there. :( Its natural to feel pain when you hear about a family member/friend getting PG easily. At least, I hope it is because that's how I feel! :o I feel both excitement and dread in equal measures about my nephew's arival next month. :o

    Surely he wasnt being serious? Its totally normal and ok to be upset. He can't honestly think you wont be upset can he? Maybe it was a bad joke?

    If he's serious was Id be upset and angry if that was my DH! He's told you he doesnt want to actively try and now doesnt want you getting upset when someone else is pregnant who you are likely to be around/hear about?

    But if hes now saying to you he wants to ntnp, then he cant at the same time expect you to be all happy about someone else. You're hardly gonna be leaping for joy are you!

    Exactly! This is why i was SO frustrated with him yesterday, i honestly believe he doesn't actually link things together that he says.

    I also just LOVED the conversation we had.... ME: I didn't think they wanted kids?? OH: me neither but they were drunk i think

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Awwww, McRach - sorry to hear that it's not just me whose DH was hit with the insensitivity stick. You can't take too much notice, the poor deluded creatures just don't know what they're saying :o My 18 year old cousin's baby was born two days ago, he and his 17 year old girlfriend got pregnant following drug use and when they were broken up. There have been allegations of cheating and domestic violence from both parties and he openly admits that he doesn't love her and that he only got with her because she's 'easy' (yep, he's a charmer) - I had a good old cry, at which point DH decided to jokingly pipe up with "well at least we know one we can adopt if we can't have our own" :eek: That man needs some serious sensitivity training! What with the pre-AF cramps I don't think he got the reaction he was hoping for, suffice to say, I don't find him hilarious :rotfl:

    Big hugs to all who need or want them, and fingers crossed for positive results from upcoming FS appointments. BZ, I really hope the NTNP approach works for you... what with the magical powers of relaxing and all that ;)

    Ugh. Just to rub it in eh?

    When he's back from work I'd tell him how you feel. If that was me in your position I'd say to him he agrees to try properly & you can then be a tad more positive about people getting pregnant (well maybe...!). Or you ntnp & he needs to deal with the fact you are not happy -especially not about drunken pregnancy announcements . He can't have it both his own way!

    I think you should also tell him how you feel just to make sure if he realises what he's saying or not - I.e was he just being an idiot or was he actually being very insensitive & should buck up his ideas.

    Like a couple of weeks ago we saw something on the tv about some naughty kid and DH said 'looks like we had a lucky escape!' I looked at him & burst into tears. He didn't mean it to sound that way though and was really sorry! He just makes horrendously bad 'jokes' sometimes. But if he was actually not being supportive then I would be really angry.
